Just to let you guys know the £2.99 18 pack of toilet rolls have jumped to £3.59 now!
They also have Nicky branded ones for £3.89 for 18 which I recommend for the extra 30p as they are stronger, softer and fragranced.
Your bum will love you for it!

Oh and they have Evoid 250ml cola flavoured for 10p too....
The Evoid cans make up for 1 a day as it contains lots of fruit so quite good for you.

In Ripon HB I got some Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner in 75 ml bottles for 29p each. Perfect for travelling - you pay 99p for travel size bottles in Bodycare.

Saw some organisers for 99p in our local store yesterday.

Remember Filofax in the 80's, well they are that kind of thing.

I think the daily diary inside is for 2010 so that may be why they are 99p.

They were black with two zips around the outer edge, when you unzip the first part at the front you have the daily diary, address book and one of those flat calculators that have holed punched down the side so that it stays in the organiser.

When you unzip the outer bit on the back it opens into a double sided pocket (a bit like your change bit in your purse) which would be ok for receipts etc.

I may get one just to keep my shopping lists, recipes and till receipts in.





A couple had a phone pouch at the front, a bit like this below.

Hi, not sure if this has been mentioned before, I've not seen them before in HB before so not sure, but I spotted 8x8 scrapbooks in my local (Grantham) yesterday, three different designs, pink spots, white with spots and a duck (I think?) and white with grey flowers. They were £2.59 each and also had enough 8x8 papers to fill the book (maybe 10 pages - I am rubbish at remembering) also embellishments like ribbons, buttons, stickers etc.

Bought all three different designs as I'm wanting to do scrapbooks for Christmas gifts but found when I got home the embellishments etc are glued to the front of the books and don't come away that easily, I guess that means having to decorate the front as well

I totally agree with the Nicky toilet rolls being stronger and softer. I have purchased the 9pack of white ones before but I recently bought a four pack of fragranced ones (blue) from my local Farmfoods (didn't realise they were fragranced as I was in a hurry) - and I think they stink - pardon the expression!

But that is just my opinion.

It does not matter what I do, how often I wash my hands or even if I go out the house I can still smell these toilet rolls everywhere I go!

Well at least your bum smells nicer!

I've just bought my daughter a dry erase calender from H&B. It wasn't cheap at £3.99 but its reusable, double sided & 3ft long. It was with all the crafting kits. There were two options but I can't remember them now

Also stocked up on the cup-a-soups etc for winter packed lunches. Managed to spend £23

Thanks for the warning, I was thinking about getting a couple as presents, if I do I'd better sort out the front before I wrap them up.

A tip for getting sticky things off - heat it up. A hair dryer usually works. Most glues become softer with heat, making things (especially price tickets) peel off easily.

Also, found some 007 spy card tins for 39p. They're just a metal tin with a 007 design on that could fit A4 size paper documents in.
